My only concern is that Wigan have great impact on the bench in Feka and Hock whereas we have nothing like that. We may end up competing for the first 20 then losing our grip if their impact players get a roll on.

At least we don't have to worry about their speed out of dummy half now Riddell's taken Higham's place.

I'd not underestimate the potential for a few minutes of impact - although we have a few of our own who should be able to ruin Feka's day given half a chance.
